Internationalisation: Attracting Global Capital to Accelerate Growth
Global capital is searching for a home. Investors from the US, the Middle East and APAC deploying capital through acquisitions and investments into the UK.
UK companies are attractive for their technology, talent and global growth potential. At the same time, geopolitical tension, interest rate shifts and valuation resets continue to create volatility.
This panel explores how founders, executives and investors navigate cross-border growth when capital is global, competition is intense, and macro conditions are uncertain.

2. Winning Beyond the UK
When and how to expand internationally. What separates thoughtful global growth from expensive overreach.
3. Growth in an Uncertain World
Raising capital, protecting value and making expansion decisions in volatile markets.
